Razor Clams a la Plancha

Casa Mono

Gramercy·$$$$

$24.00

Fresh razor clams grilled with olive oil, garlic, and fresh herbs.

Tip: One order usually comes with 4-5 clams. If you're a table of four, order two plates immediately—they're the best razor clams in the city and will be gone in seconds.

Chowder Risotto

Smithereens

East Village·$$$

$32.00

Creamy risotto with quahog clams, potatoes, and bacon in the style of a New England chowder.

Lilia

Williamsburg·$$$
